Hi Guys.
I've had a look and cannot find anything to help me. I would like a sound alert when there is a photo finish.
Now, I've messed around with sound alerts before on tennis, but I could'nt get any sound, (bit of a downside lol).
Can you explain to a teccie cabbage how I would set this up?
Many Thanks

I do this. Works 99% of the time for photos and also when the market is opened for a stewards'.

You need to point the file path in the "parameters" tab to a .wav sound file.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Thanks for that James, appreciated.
But I knew this would happen. When I click on browse for the sound alert, all that comes up is select a file. I had this trouble before. How do I get the alert to make a sound? e.g whistle/bell.
Once again, thanks.

You need to point it towards a .wav sound file.

I use this website to create spoken word prompts. Change the format to .wav https://www.narakeet.com/app/text-to-audio
